What size is your wrist SaddleSC?
Thank you, my friend! My wrist is 6.75" flat.

39mm was a little too big for me, but I feel the dial is slightly better proportioned than the new 36, with the Explorer closer to the 6 than the 12.

As I get a little older I like the larger dial of the 39mm. I can see it!

If you have a large wrist, the 36 is just too tiny.

It is a sad day.

The 39 mm Exp was an amazing watch! Maybe they will reintroduce it in the near future.

I bought both 36 and 39 just in case. They are both sick. But 39 is sicker

I get it, but I gotta have a date. thats one thing I learned with my bb58... need a date. 99% of the time I look at my watch its for the date, not the time.

Saw and tried on the new model. Sorry, it's just way too small and that is a simple fact. It wears more like 34 mm, definitely smaller in terms of stance and presence than the OP36.
